Treatment Details

What is Nicorette Freshmint Gum?
Nicorette Freshmint Gum is a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to help individuals quit smoking by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It provides a controlled dose of nicotine without the harmful tar and toxins found in cigarettes. The refreshing mint flavour ensures a pleasant experience while aiding smoking cessation.
How does Nicorette Freshmint Gum work?
Nicorette Freshmint Gum works by releasing nicotine into the bloodstream through the lining of the mouth when chewed. This helps manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to cut down or quit smoking altogether. The gum follows the "chew and park" method, where you chew until the taste becomes strong, then rest it between your cheek and gum to allow nicotine absorption.
1. Chew the gum slowly until the taste becomes strong.
2. "Park" the gum between your cheek and gum.
3. When the taste fades, chew again and repeat for about 30 minutes.
4. Do not use more than 15 pieces per day.
5. Follow a structured plan to gradually reduce usage over time.
Like all medications, Nicorette Freshmint Gum may cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Possible side effects include:
- Mild irritation of the mouth or throat
- Hiccups or excessive salivation
- Nausea or upset stomach
- Headaches or dizziness
- Sleep disturbances (if taken too close to bedtime)
If side effects persist or become severe, consult a healthcare professional.
